When Gear Diary was created on September 30 last year, I didn’t think about keeping track of how many visitors came until Vincent mentioned that I was missing out on one of the joys of site ownership…statistics. Upon his advice, on December 21 I installed a little counter at the bottom of each page and promptly forgot about it…until the numbers started racking up. For the last month, the Gear Diary team has been watching to see when our first official million visits would occur; today was that day.

I almost let it go by, but Wayne just reminded me. ;-)

For the record, we are also at 1,452,443 page views, we currently have 1,600 posts, 7,553 comments, and Akismet has captured 61,306 spam comments. Yikes!

Some more fun facts?

We have posted 347 reviews, 59 unboxings, and we have run no less than 18 give-aways. One of them was a massive past review item clearance event, and we will be doing another just like it after I get back from CES…stay tuned!

Thank you all for being part of our first million visits, we look forward to celebrating the next milestone with you at five million! :-D

More stats after the jump, including the most popular posts of all time (it’s obvious how much you all like the give-aways)…
